THE BUREAU IS LOOKING FOR A WORD

The Bureau often receives descriptions of experiences for which no English word exists. We would love your help in coining a neologism for the experience described below. Please submit your ideas using the “Submit Word Here” tab found at the top of the website. The Bureau Thanks You. Here is the definition:

“The misdiagnosis that an individual’s depression or mental illness, is derived from something wrong with them personally, when the depression an individual is experiencing may actually be induced by living in a society that is ill or broken. The said depression is actually a healthy response of a conscious, sentient, empathetic being responding to the greater societal illness surrounding them.”

The Bureau of Linguistical Reality was established in 2014 for the purpose of collecting, translating and creating a new vocabulary for the Anthropocene.
